GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 318292
Inserting a CD-RW/DVD-RW should allow for creating UDF filesystem
Last modified: 2005-10-20 14:48:59 UTC
Currently, when inserting a CD-RW/DVD-RW blank disc, n-c-b treats it as a CD-R/DVD-R, burning files on an ISO filesystem. When reinserting the disc after burning it, it is mounted r/o as an ISO. When rewritable media is inserted, a dialog should pop up offering to create either a UDF or an ISO filesystem. The differences in capabilities and compatibility should be stated simply. Choosing ISO would bring up the CD/DVD Creator window, while UDF would bring up a progress dialog showing the formatting/creation of the filesystem, followed by a normal nautilus window. Reinserting the UDF disc would mount it r/w as UDF.
The user should not have to understand what ISO or UDF mean. Also see bug 309204 comment #5 for why we'll continue to use ISO. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 309204 ***
